Parvana: The Most Breathtaking and Spectacular Tigress Chapter 2

They've finally made it.

Although Parvana has no clue how the five of them managed it, now Alex, Parvana, Marty, Gloria, and Melman have made it to Monte Carlo where the Penguins and Chimps said they were heading in the first place.

Despite not being the easygoing trip Alex said it would be it still got them there.

In Port De Monte Carlo a Lion, Tiger, Zebra, Hippo, and Giraffe made it there, but not in a boat.

Breaking the water's surface with just their heads sticking out the five of them are wearing goggles and breathing through snorkels for air. A spontaneous approach to things in this type of perspective.

Scouting the area using his neck superior height advantage, voice muffled through the snorkel, Melman said "There it is. The casino."

"What," asked Alex, voice equally as indistinct and unintelligible.

Removing her own snorkel to translate for them, Parvana said "He says that he sees the casino."

Nodding, spitting out his own snorkel, Melman confirmed "Yup. Right there."

"Perfect. That's where we'll find the Penguins," said Alex, still choosing to talk around his snorkel.

"What," said Marty.

Now speaking clearly without the snorkel, Alex repeated "Perfect. That's where we'll find the Penguins."

This time Marty is completely mumbled.

"What," said Gloria.

Rolling her eyes, peeved, Parvana said "Marty, take out your snorkel."

Marty did so, jabbering stupidly for fun. Parvana cuffed him behind the ear.

"Shh! Come on, guys! Operation Penguin Extraction does not include levity," hissed Alex in a hushed whisper. "We can't draw attention to ourselves."

"He's right. We're supposed to be traveling incognito," agreed Parvana.

"We're invisible," continued Alex, now realizing how ridiculous he sounded. "I'm talking really quiet."

All five of them put their snorkels back in and dived to go in underwater.

King Julien, Maurice, and Mort aren't being as discreet like they are. They are coming in on a miniscule boat dancing and igniting fireworks to announce their arrival. Honestly, Parvana genuinely believes they should've just been left in Africa. If King Julien thinks he's going to rule New York City then he is going to be on the receiving end of a huge and harsh reality check.

It's all about stealth as the close-knit and determined group makes their way to the casino over rooftops to be unseen by the public.

Going over the plan discussed and finalized strategy, Alex said "Okay. Phase 1. We break into the casino, grab the Penguins, and get them to take us back to New York in the Monkey Powered Super Plane!"

"Check," said Marty.

"Phase 2! We chew out the Penguins for abandoning us in Africa," said Alex.

"Check," said Melman.

"Phase 3. We apologize to the Penguins for the overly harsh chewing outing, but we've gotten our point across," said Alex, confidently. "Phase 4. Back to New york City."

"Check," said Parvana.

"Yes," said Gloria.

"I like it," approved Melman, smiling.

The group of five now reached their entry point.

There are a couple of vents directly over where the casino floor should be. This is their way in.

All hyped up and energized, Alex said "All right, we take these ventilation ducts to the crawlspace above the casino where we find the Penguins. I just need to figure out which duct each of us should take."

Cringing, Parvana grimaced "This is not going to end well."

The fact that each and every one of them somehow made it through a passage in those vent ducts unscathed is a physical and scientific impossibility. Even years afterwards Parvana will remain stumped. Each ride was hectic, bumpy, and uncomfortable, but they landed on the crawlspace just as Alex had accurately deducted.

Gloria was last with her being stuck in her vent duct half in and half out. Parvana and Melman are left to assist in squeezing her out while Alex and Marty pinpoint the Penguins and Chimps at the roulette tables.

The situation is resolved when Parvana is chosen to be lowered down to snatch the Penguins and Chimps unseen when the lemurs cut the power in the casino to make it go pitch black. Parvana is a feline so with her superior eyesight she'll easily be able to handle this. Initially, Alex might've been able to succeed, but Parvana is far more nimble in the air than he is while Alex is the better dancer.

Attaching a grappling hook to the ceiling and harnessing Parvana in, Alex said "Okay. In exactly 2 minutes and 17 seconds, the lemurs will cut the power. Parvana will drop down to grab the Penguins. Marty you and me will crank Parvana up and we are out of here."

"Oh, oh, oh! Let me drop it down! I'll grab the Penguins," exclaimed Marty.

Shaking his head, cranking the reel, Alex said "You don't have fingers, Marty. These are things a leader has to think of and it's already been picked."

"Why should you be the leader? Why not me," demanded Marty, indignant, shoving Alex.

" 'Cause I'm the phase tracker," countered Alex, knocking into Parvana a little.

Parvana held her arms out wide in order to steady. Wobbling like that on an unsteady surface made her nervous.

"How did I get phased out," shouted Marty, outraged.

" 'Cause you're part of a phase. A phase isn't something you own," defended Alex. "It's something you're in."

"Who voted you Grand Phase Master anyway," said Marty, not letting this go.

"Uh, guys, we're running out of time. The lemurs will be doing their part any second now," reminded Parvana, straining in the harness.

"Me! I voted me! 'Cause I'm the leader," said Alex, snobbishly.

Parvana slaps a paw over her face. Not only does that sound so idiotic, but none of them are listening to her. Even the levelheaded Gloria and Melman are being sucked into this dumb and pointless argument.

"Maybe I should be in charge," interjected Melman.

"Melman," said Gloria.

"I am a doctor," reasoned Melman.

"Why can't we all be leaders," yelled Marty.

"Enough! I'm gonna lead," said Gloria, firmly, stepping on the glass.

Registering what's about to result from this before the others could, Parvana said "Gloria, no!"

Too late.

The glass shatters under Gloria's weight. All five of them plummet below onto the casino floor.

Melman, Gloria, Alex, and Marty collapse straight on the roulette table in front of the giant crowd and the Chimps with Parvana dangling in the air on the rope.

All is dead quiet as the people are staring at them flabbergasted.

Alex chuckles as he waves a paw at the gathered people grinning sheepishly.

Screams erupted as all the people scrambled for escape.

This is so not proceeding according to plan.

Authors Note:

I'm sure you guys have figured out the tiny hint I slipped in here about what Parvana's talent in the circus is going to be.

Do you guys think Chantel DuBois should go after both Alex and Parvana or just Alex like it happens original in the movie?

I hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D

For those of you just starting out with my stuff there are other works on my profile that may catch your interest. I highly recommend you take a look as soon as the opportunity presents itself to you. Who knows, you may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.

Stay safe everyone. Especially with all of these crazy natural disasters occurring a lot lately due to global warming and climate change everywhere for sure. I swear it's like they're getting worse and worse all the time and it's like officials are simply just ignoring it or pretending it doesn't exist entirely just to go on with their daily lives. Especially those in multi-million dollar companies that rely on certain elements of our planet that we rely on to naturally keep us safe instead of adapting and finding new safer ways to keep in business. There are so many options out there where they can adapt, but they just refuse to see it because all they care about is money. Climate change is altering so much faster than anyone can really keep track of.

So, in light of all this, it is important to live life to the fullest as much as anyone can.

I know I am. ;) See you guys next time.
